“‘The fastest way to end the Humanitarian Crises in Gaza is for Hamas to SURRENDER AND RELEASE THE HOSTAGES!!!’ President Donald Trump wrote Thursday morning on Truth Social. Amen. While in Scotland on Monday, Trump had voiced a very human concern about the children of Gaza, when he said, ‘I mean, some of those kids are — that’s real starvation stuff. I see it, and you can’t fake it. So we’re going to be even more involved.’ His remarks come ahead of the U.N. General Assembly in New York in September. So begins another pressure campaign from the all-bow international community to weaken Israel’s self-defense in a war Hamas started on Oct. 7, 2023, by murdering some 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages.” [editor’s note: The Israeli regime was holding, and continues to hold, far more than 250 hostages; why don’t they count? – TLK] (08/02/25)
